According to https://commitfest.postgresql.org/48/4746/ this patch set
needs review, but:

1. Considering that there have been no updates for 5 months, maybe
it's actually dead?

and

2. I still think it needs to be more clear how the interface is
supposed to work. I do not want to spend time reviewing a patch to see
whether it works without understanding how it is intended to work --
and I also think that reviewing the patch in detail before we've got
the user interface right makes a whole lot of sense.
